Summary
JJ reaches out, curling her fingers around Emily’s, unclenching them. She stays silent, waits for Emily to continue while she runs her fingertips along the other woman’s palm. Emily feels the touch like a brand.
“But secretly?” She takes a deep breath, exhales slow. Listens for a moment to the steady pace of JJ’s breathing. “I think a part of me always hoped it was all true, you know? That I’d find my soulmate someday. That it really would be worth it.”
It takes a herculean effort for JJ to keep the heartbreak out of her voice. “Hoped?”
“I…” Emily falters. She hesitates, licks her lips. She can’t bring herself to say it.
“Emily..” JJ breathes in. Breathes out. Forces out the words: “Do you know who your soulmate is?”
